Top Notch Tour and Guide - Amazing Food - Our guide Cecelia was fantastic. Her knowledge of the area and the food scene were top notch. She was easy to talk to, friendly and so much fun. Her personality was engaging and she was interested in us as a family. This was probably our top tour that we did on our trip to Milano.

Our tour guide Roberta Morese was amazing, so nice personable and friendly! We even passed along her name to 3 people! - Make sure to go on an empty stomach the food is wonderful and abundant. The walk was not too long. The photo I uploaded does not do it justice. The tour was a 10 out of 10. A must tour when in Parma.

Highly recommend this delicious and insightful experience - We had an amazing time with our guide, Roberta - in fact, this might have been our favorite tour during our trip to Italy! My wife and I were actually the only people in our tour, so it was very intimate and we got to move at a very comfortable pace without ever feeling rushed. It was almost magical how Roberta would take us to a location and suddenly delicious food would appear for us to try! We didn’t have to worry about ordering (she either did that for us or had already scheduled it advance) or paying (since we’d opted for the pre-paid option). We got to try so many different dishes, and Roberta shared so much info about all of them. We learned a lot, ate a lot, and made a lot of great memories. We will definitely come back to Parma again for a longer visit!

A wonderful private tour... - A wonderful private tour with Michelle! We had a rough start due to a traffic delay and were able to work it all out so we could tour an hour and a half later! Michelle was incredibly knowledgable and we thoroughly enjoyed the food tastings - our favorite being the cured meats. Highly recommend!
